Weet-Bix Aquathon!!!

On Sunday 27th March 2011 it was the Weet-Bix Triathlon in Tauranga but because the weather was sooo miserable and wet there was no cycle part so it was called an Aquathon instead of a triathlon.

I had to swim four lengths of the pool and the pool was 1.4 metres high and I am only 1.3 metres tall! Then I did the run which was 1.5 kilometres. I got a bad stitch on the way but it went away really quickly after the race. At the end I got a medal and a drink bottle, which I got signed by the Weet-Bix Guy. Here are some photos of the day.
